Yep you’ve read that correctly the ASUS Tinkerboard has finally had some LibreElec lovin'
Omegamoon has forked LibreElec and added all the necessary patches and tools to build a bootable SD card image of LibreElec for the ASUS tinker board.
You can find the fork here https://github.com/omegamoon/LibreELEC.tv/tree/Rockchip And the guide I followed to build it here https://wiki.libreelec.tv/index.php?title=Compile

Known Issues

Demo
One thing I would suggest is a fan!
After a few minutes of watching youtube (via kodi) with just the heatsink it got hot enough to trigger a reboot :(
